Please excuse my ignorance: What exactly happens when a bank is downgraded?

I *know* this is a step in the right direction, I'm just not clear on what it 8really8 means.

thanks! Love and Light for ALL!!!

Bank bonds will sell off.
Equities will tank.
Credit will freeze.
TBTF bailouts neeeded.
Treasury Bills based on NOTHING will be purchased by the UST.
No one else wants them.
Dollar bubble... US money becoming WORTHLESS.

Jim's Rant for the Day. 'Taint no biggie, it's up in the air now. . .

the stern of the Titanic, that is. Yesterday the major global banks got the kiss of death with two or three down-grades by Moodys. On CBS News last night they said it was no big deal. This morning my local newspaper (member of Gannett News Group) didn't print a word about it. 'Taint no biggie!

Speaking of biggies, did you know that those big name banks hold a lot of institutional accounts? Institutional accounts are large deposits of the Federal and state governments, large pension funds, school boards, and even probably Mayor Bloomberg's private slush fund. Did you also know that institutional funds are regulated by law and can only deposit in excellent credit rated banks. But I guess CBS News knew that when they said "'Taint no biggie".

Don't get caught in the doorway of the bank today as Mayor Bloomberg may knock you over. My prediction is that by Tuesday either the first U.S. bank files for bankruptcy protection or across the board banking holidays will be initiated. Either way, the global financial banks are all on their way down and the Cabal has lost its check book. But other than that, 'taint no biggie.
